Is that a Hero of the Soviet Union medal he's wearing (the one on the right)? Could be somebody historical; perhaps a Czech national serving in the Soviet Army who helped liberate Prague.

Just wondering out loud.

It seems to me the artist placed the gun barrel a little too high in the mantlet on that T-34: the gun breech is banging into the turret roof.

Cheers, Robert

Is that a Hero of the Soviet Union medal he's wearing (the one on the right)? Could be somebody historical; perhaps a Czech national serving in the Soviet Army who helped liberate Prague.

On the Czechoslovak stamp is represented officer of 3 or 4 tank army who liberated Prague. On his uniform are the Order of the Red Star and the Order of Red Banner (Perhaps!). Medal of Hero Sovet Union is worn on the left site of breast.
